broadband. The WRC has agreed to consider spectrum for public safety broadband. Studies are underway to assess whether
and how much spectrum is needed and to develop recommendations on where in the spectrum range the spectrum should be
allocated (taking into account regional and global harmonization to the extent practicable). Motorola Solutions continues to work
with its customers and governments around the world to advocate for future allocations of dedicated broadband spectrum for
public safety which will provide new business opportunities for us in the future.
Several major markets including: Australia, Canada, the United States, Mexico and South Korea have already set aside
broadband spectrum for use by public safety and the wider first-responder community. We believe this trend will continue over
time and the planned implementation of nationwide broadband public safety networks provides new opportunities for our
broadband portfolio and services growth strategy.
In addition, certain countries, in response to increasing security concerns, already have spectrum landscapes that permit
country administrations to allocate public safety spectrum quickly without a protracted process or agreement.
